In this episode, we are joined by Steven, the CTO of PubNub, a company that has developed an edge net messaging network with over a billion connected devices. Steven explains that while message buses like Kafka or RabbitMQ are suitable for smaller scales, PubNub focuses on the challenges of connecting mobile devices and laptops at a web scale. They aim to provide instant signal delivery at a massive scale, prioritizing low latency for a seamless user experience. To achieve this, PubNub has architected their system to be globally distributed, running on AWS with Kubernetes clusters spread across all of Amazon's zones. They utilize GeoDNS to ensure users connect to the closest region for the lowest latency possible. Steven goes on to discuss the challenges they faced in building their system, particularly in terms of memory management and cleanup. They had to deal with issues such as segmentation faults and memory leaks, which caused runtime problems, outages, and potential data loss. PubNub had to invest in additional memory to compensate for these leaks and spend time finding and fixing the problems. While C was efficient, it came with significant engineering costs. As a solution, PubNub started adopting Rust, which helped alleviate some of these challenges. When they replaced a service with Rust, they observed a 5x improvement in memory and performance. Steven also talks about choosing programming languages for their platform and the difficulties in finding and retaining C experts. They didn't consider Java due to its perceived academic nature, and Go didn't make the list of options at the time. However, they now have services in production written in Go, though rewriting part of their PubSub bus in Go performed poorly compared to their existing C system. Despite this, they are favoring Rust as their language of choice for new services, citing its popularity and impressive results. The conversation delves into performance considerations with Python and the use of PyPy as a just-in-time compiler for optimization. While PyPy improved performance, it also required a lot of memory, which could be expensive. On the other hand, Rust provided a significant boost in both memory and performance, making it a favorable choice for PubNub. They also discuss provisioning, taking into account budget and aiming to be as close to what they need as possible. Kubernetes and auto scaling with HPAs (Horizontal Pod Autoscaling) are used to dynamically adjust resources based on usage. Integrating new services into PubNub's infrastructure involves both API-based communication and event-driven approaches. They use frameworks like Axiom for API-based communication and leverage Kafka with Protobuf for event sourcing. JSON is also utilized in some cases. Steven explains that they chose Protobuf for high-traffic topics and where stability is crucial. While the primary API for customers is JSON-based, PubNub recognizes the superior performance of Protobuf and utilizes it for certain cases, especially for shrinking down large character strings like booleans. They also discuss the advantages of compression enabled with Protobuf. The team reflects on the philosophy behind exploring Rust's potential for profit and its use in infrastructure and devices like IoT. Rust's optimization for smaller binaries is highlighted, and PubNub sees it as their top choice for reliability and performance. They mention developing a Rust SDK for customers using IoT devices. The open-source nature of Rust and its ability to integrate into projects and develop open standards are also praised. While acknowledging downsides like potential instabilities and longer compilation time, they remain impressed with Rust's capabilities. The conversation covers stability and safety in Rust, with the speaker expressing confidence in the compiler's ability to handle alpha software and packages. Relying on native primitives for concurrency in Rust adds to the speaker's confidence in the compiler's safety. The Rust ecosystem is seen as providing adequate coverage, although packages like libRDKafka, which are pre-1.0, can be challenging to set up or deploy. The speaker emphasizes simplicity in code and avoiding excessive abstractions, although they acknowledge the benefits of features like generics and traits in Rust. They suggest resources like a book by David McCloyd that focuses on learning Rust without overwhelming complexity. Expanding on knowledge sharing within the team, Stephen discusses how Rust advocates within the team have encouraged its use and the possibilities it holds for AI infrastructure platforms. They believe Rust could improve performance and reduce latency, particularly for CPU tasks in AI. They mention the adoption of Rust in the data science field, such as its use in the Parquet data format. The importance of tooling improvements, setting strict standards, and eliminating unsafe code is highlighted. The speaker expresses the desire for a linter that enforces a simplified version of Rust to enhance code readability, maintainability, and testability. They discuss the balance between functional and object-oriented programming in Rust, suggesting object-oriented programming for larger-scale code structure and functional paradigms within functions. Onboarding Rust engineers is also addressed, considering whether to prioritize candidates with prior Rust experience or train individuals skilled in another language on the job. Recognizing the shortage of Rust engineers, Stephen encourages those interested in Rust to pursue a career at PubNub, pointing to resources like their website and LinkedIn page for tutorials and videos. They emphasize the importance of latency in their edge messaging technology and invite users to try it out.

Stephen Blum finds that his life outside of tech is tricky to define, given we are surrounded by tech everywhere. He was inspired to be a game developer at an early age, and he found it fun and exciting. In the gaming days, he really enjoyed the Legend of Zelda, Metroid - those adventures and the animation was fascinating to him. After a while, he found more excitement within the business world, and using technology to solve problems and profit. In fact, he finds it so much fun, that what he loves to do outside of work and business... is just chill. He likes it when there is no plans.Stephen likes to support and invest in earlier stage AI and API companies. He has 18 different companies he has invested in, and he wants to continue expanding that portfolio, and into crypto as well - specifically arbitrage through API's, which he finds particularly fun and lucrative. One of the tricks he found is to make all trades simultaneously within the same wallet.In their inception, they were trying to solve a problem... by simply creating a button to order a taxi. In the process of building that, they figured out they needed tech to allow more than one party to participate. And their product vision clicked.This is the creation story of Pubnub.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://www.pubnub.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenlb/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Apple начала неявно регулировать цены на подпискиПохоже в Купертино решили бороться с проблемой, вызывающей негатив многих пользователей, а именно приложениями, использующими “серую” схему монетизации. Пользователю предлагают оформить подписку, тщательно скрывая её настоящую стоимость, например, указывая цену за один день подписки или напирая на “бесплатность” во время триального периода. В результате этого доверчивые пользователи теряют десятки долларов на приложениях вроде фонарика или калькулятора. Понятно, что эта схема не является незаконной, но она сильно ухудшает опыт пользователей AppStore и портит тщательно развиваемый Apple тезис о “безопасной платформе”. Поэтому пару недель назад стали появляться сообщения о том что теперь при модерации представители AppStore просят обосновать цену IAP если она превышает некий разумный лимит (в примерах указывалась стоимость 7 долларов в неделю)Clubhouse оказался почти полностью построен на SaaS решенияхНе так давно, корейский разработчик опубликовал результаты декомпиляции официального клиента популярной социальной сети. Оказалось что для общения они используют популярное решение для аудио и видео вещания Agora.io, а для дополнительной коммуникации — сервис PubNub. Буквально через пару дней появился неофициальный консольный клиент на Python, позволяющий прослушивать комнаты социальной сети с компьютера. Это в свою очередь сильно упрощает задачи вроде записи вещаемого в комнатах (уже доступны несколько Telegram ботов с этим сервисом) или же трансляцию в Clubhouse предварительно записанного контента. Кроме того, появился неофициальный Android клиент от разработчика из России. По словам автора, его создание заняло где-то один день.Разработчики браузеров против трекинга в сетиДумаю, можно смело сказать что тренд на борьбу со слежкой за пользователями в сети, набравший силу в прошлом году, продолжится и в этом. Разработчики браузеров не отстают от этой повестки, даже в Chrome внедряются некоторые решения, призванные усложнить кросс-сайтовое отслеживание пользователей (ну, как минимум для всех кроме самих Google).

I have to tell you the well paid morons at Google Cloud and AWS don’t get simplicity. They over engineer useless architected solutions for simple uses. PubNub has it’s weird exception  limitations as well and bureaucracy to just get sales quotes. PubNub is easily  the simplest commercial solution but this open source Flask might be better!  I find PubNub support is quite responsive which is much better than the bigger cloud providers. I luckily found a very simple solution for PubSub message queuing with Python Flask only. There are lots of limitations with no fault tolerance no redundancy which can be critical .From my point of view, if you want that go with a commercial cloud solution.  There are no dependencies at all including Redis. The less my customer has to install, the better! Let ‘s see this simple demo.

In this episode, Alex spoke with the Director of Demand Generation at PubNub - Julia Hartwig. High volume + low quality SQL's is usually the reason why there's so much friction between both Marketing & Sales. And that was EXACTLY the problem Julia faced when joining PubNub, just over 8 months ago. So, how did she solve it?

Trick question of the week: Why is Developer Experience so important? For starters, let’s look to the old saying that “first impressions matter”. Anyone that spends too much time trying to figure out how things work is more likely to quit trying at some point. This remains true to developers too. Today’s guest, Ian Jennings, is the man behind Haxor Developer Experience. According to Haxor, most vendors expect developers to reach their first “Hello, world!” within 15 minutes. The truth? Half of the developers don’t even reach that point, and the rest who do, will end up needing more than 1 hour. How can you offer a better experience to developers? Ian has 5 tips that will help make everything better. Listen to the episode and find out. In this episode, Ian discusses 2 graphs that stand out to him for the “Let’s talk Data” section. Ian's picks for this week: how developer and marketing experts segment their audience (https://www.devrelx.com/trends?lightbox=dataItem-k9mqu4kj1?utm_source=PodcastDescription&utm_medium=Ian Jennings&utm_campaign=Segmentation) . Ian Jennings is the founder of Haxor, a developer experience testing platform. Haxor tests and measures APIs, SDKs, and developer products with on-demand feedback from real developers. Previously, Ian co-founded developer meetup platform Hacker League, before spending 6 years at PubNub establishing their developer experience strategy. He also operates DevPort, a developer portfolio site populated by thousands of developers.

Syed Ahmed is a Developer Advocate at PubNub, a global Data Stream Network and real-time infrastructure-as-a-service company based in San Francisco, California. PubNub's products allow developers to build realtime web, mobile, voice and IoT applications. Low network latency is especially important for voice enabled applications that integrate with IoT devices, as any delay during a conversational interaction can affect usability and frustrate users. In this episode, Syed explains how PubNub solves the latency problem by using a serverless architecture of PubNub Blocks, and walks us through a simple real-world example of a voice enabled doorbell. We learn about the publisher-subscriber pattern that underpins this technology, and why building voice apps with PubNub is quicker, easier and much more scalable than other methods. A nice surprise during this conversation was that using PubNub Blocks not only improves the network performance of voice apps, but can be used to add advanced features such as contextual memory between phrases, and even between voice devices on different platforms, allowing developers to build more advanced interactions.

It was used to scale products with The post Pulsar Messaging with Lewis Kaneshiro appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

PubNub is a data streaming network with connectivity in every country in the world and ensures low-latency data sharing through state-of-the-art APIs. An API, or application programming interface, allows one application to speak to another and according to CTO Stephen Blum, there is a chance that every IoT device currently in your home is already connected to PubNub. Using a single network capable of handling hundreds of millions of connections at once, PubNub provides a secure network that allows mobile phones to interact and control IoTs in less than a quarter of second even from the other side of the world. Using patented technology, PubNub has created a unique global network that will find the fastest path between mobile devices and IoTs. In addition to IoT device control, PubNub allows for real-time chat, updates and messaging, as well as mobile push notifications.

For a very special episode of The Innovation Engine, we're bringing you a number of interviews from the floor from last week's TechCrunch Disrupt New York. TechCrunch Disrupt is a bi-annual event that features panel discussions with some of the leading minds in the technology space and serves as a launching pad for the next great batch of tech companies looking to change the world. 3Pillar was a sponsor of this year's conference, so we had a prime location on the showroom floor, which gave us the opportunity to talk with the winners of the TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon about their VR app to help diagnose ADHD, the co-founder of a company that's making bike helmets that can be condensed to the size of a water bottle, the founder of a company who's looking to make filing your tax returns as easy as sending pictures of your w-2 to a certified CPA, and many more.
